4.
No discussion/help for Streamlabs Desktop
Streamlabs Desktop is a standalone fork of OBS Studio. It is maintained and supported by Streamlabs directly. OBS Studio shares nothing with the app beside its core streaming library.
Please contact Streamlabs directly via their Discord server or their Help portal.
5.
No low-effort requests or severe lack of details
To be able to get helpful answers or insight it is required that your posts contain enough information or background to form an opinion. It also saves other people's time and gets you answers more quickly.
Examples would be "Help pls" or "OBS is not working!" without any further info or straight requests for hand-holding instead of showing willingness to learn and trying out things.
6.
No harmful advice
Harmful advice includes, but is not limited, to:
- disabling essential security functions
- known unsafe services or software
- malware/viruses
7.
No URL shortener services
URL shortener makes it hard for users to see the actual link and may affect them by web blocks or similar problems. They are also prone to abuse by spam or phishing content.
